after three years with RDU my time has come to an end! it was a bittersweet farewell and I thank bee georgie Liam (and Asher) and the RDU team for the send-off! look forward to hearing good old donners over the airwaves from next week! I am so thrilled with my three awesome years of broadcasting - Boat Boys to Breakfast, countless festivals and gigs, a transition from duo to solo, persisting over lockdown from my garage, being the youngest solo host in a bit haha, being proudly myself to the chagrin of many texters, and interviewing both soon-to-be and established music legends. good times all around! don't change that dial and stay locked and loaded to rdu 98.5 ayyy- peace and love from me
